Another point of view

It's sometimes too easy to take the 'obvious' photo, and this is even more true when you're shooting a famous landmark or place. A standard, archetypal image of that location or feature becomes popular and these inspiring buildings and places of wonder become the stuff of postcards.
This challenge is about pictures of buildings and places that people know, captured in an way they're not used to. Make the familiar and famous look unusual, expected and exciting.

Processing rules:

Almost anything goes, but you can't just heavily process the familiar postcard shot. And no HDR (because this is about imagination, not processing).

Capture date rules:

No restrictions.

Additional rules:

People should recognise the thing you're shooting. But they should have to pause for a second, as they work it out.
